FOUNTAIN-SYRINGE HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 692,920, dated February1 1, 1902.

Application filed June 12, 1901.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, GUSTAV SoHIRMER,a citizen of the United States,residing at Ohicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois,haveinvented certain new and usefulIrnprovements in Fountain-SyringeHolders; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.

My invention has relation to fountainsyringe holders; and it consists inthe novel construction and arrangement of its parts, as hereinafterdescribed.

The object of my invention is to provide a syringe-holder adapted to bemounted on the walleither in a physicians office, bath-room, or otherplaces, the holder being so constructed and arranged that the reservoirfountain-syringe may be elevated to a high point or lowered from thesame without unnecessary reaching and stretching of the operator. Theholder is also provided with a series of graduations, whereby certainpressure or fall of water from the fountain-syringe may be attained. Theholder is also providedwith a perpendicularly-movable support for aglass tumbler or other vessel.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation, partly insection, of the holder attached to the wall and ceiling and supporting afountain-syringe. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of another form of aperpendicular rod having its graduations in the form of notches. Fig. 3is a side elevation of still another form of the holder. Fig. 4 is a topplan view of the glass-tumbler support. Fig. 5 is a detailed sectionalview of the upper collar and tube surrounding the perpendicular rod inthe form of the invention as shown inFig. 1.

The holder consists of the perpendicular rod 1, which is secured at itslower end to the side wall and at its upper end to the ceiling of theroom. Said rod is provided with a number of graduations 2. In the formof the invention as shown in Fig. 1 the upper collar 3 is slidablymounted on said rod, said collar havinga hook 4, from which thefountain- Serial No. 64,315. (No model.)

syringe 5 depends. lower end an annular recess which receives the upperend of'the tube 6, said tube being provided near its upper end with anannular groove 7. The set-screw 8 passes laterallv through one side ofthe collar 3, the inner end of the said set-screw entering said annulargroove 7 in a manner as shown in Fig. 5. The lower end of the tube 6 isprovided with a set-screw 9, the inner end of which is adapted toimpinge the rod 1. In the form of the invention as shown in Fig. 1 thetumblersupport 10 is located on the rod 1 at a comparatively low point.This support is slidably mounted on said rod and by means of theset-screw 11 can be secured at any one of various elevations. Thesupport consists of an interrupted ring 12, as shown in detail in Fig.4, which is adapted to receive the tumbler or other vessel in the manneras shown in Figs. 1 and 3.

The operation of the device as shown in Fig. 1 is: The fountain-syringe5, filled with water, is placed on the hook 4, and the operator bylifting the lower end of the tube 6 can elevate the reservoir of thesyringe to the vicinity of the ceiling, if he so desires. \Vhen the bagis elevated sufficiently, the operator tightens the set-screw-9, and thebag is held at the desired elevation. Should it be the desire to permitcollar 3 and the bag 5 to make partial revolutions about the rod 1 whenin the elevated position, the set-screw Sis tightened prior toelevation. If it isdesired to make the collar 3 rigid with relation tothe tube 6, the set-screw 8 is tightened. After the syringe-bag 5 iselevated to the proper point the tumbler-support 10 can be shifted alongthe rod 1 and secured at any desired point.

In the form of the invention .as shown in Fig. 2 the upper end of,therod 1 is sharpened and is'thus adapted to be driven into theceiling, while the lower end may be secured by any suitable means to theside wall. In this form of invention the graduations 2 are in the formof notches, said notches having one horizontal wall and one inclinedwall. The said notches are adapted to receive the beveled end of thespring-actuated pin 13, which is mounted in the collar 14. Said collar14 may be at the lower end of the tube,

The collar has in itssimilar to 6, or on the tumbler-support. It will beseen that said collar 14 and its connections can be pushed upward alongthe rod 1. The inner end of the pin 13 will engage any one of thenotches 2. hen it is desired to lower the collar 14, the pin 13 must bepulled out, so as to disengage the inner end thereof from the notches ofthe rod 1.

In the form of the invention as shown in Fig. 3 the upper collar 15 isconnected to the lower collar 16 by means of a bar 17. The lower collaris provided with an ordinary setscrew and the upper collar with asyringesupporting hook. The tumbler-support 10 is located on the rod 1between the two collars.

- Inthis form of invention it will be observed said rod, said collaradapted to support a syringe, a connection depending from said collar atits lower end surrounding said rod and means located at the lower end ofsaid connection for securing the same to the rod.

2. Asyringe-holder consisting of arodsuitably secured, said rod beingprovided with graduations, a collar slidably mounted on said rod, saidcollar adapted to support a syringe, a connection depending from saidcollar at its lower end surrounding said rod;

GUSTAV SCI-IIRMER.
